当今天剑桥英语考试的铃声响起时，我感觉全身都已经不是自己的了，像是换了一个人的身体一样。我的手不停的颤抖着，笔尖也在颤抖，在桌子上不断地留下来回摩擦的声音。为什么我对英语考试这么害怕呢？因为我妈妈给我要求的是必须认真对待，争取考到100分。但是我对自己很没有“信心”，所以心里十分的担心。一直想着该怎么答题？要怎么才答得好，考到一。百分。就在这时考试的铃声响起了，我之前在脑袋里记到的知识，突然间一下子就飞走了。当我正在想怎么才能将那些知识找回来的时候？老师开始念听力了，我十分无奈的跟着老师的思路走，生怕有半点遗漏。

过了一会儿，老师终于把听力讲完了，我感觉浑身都松了一口气儿，但这还没完，老师紧接着说：“同学们，这次考试要认真对待，今天的题很难一定要认真考试哦。”老师不说这句话还好，但老师一说，我就感觉浑身都不自在了，感觉就像望子成龙的那些妈妈一直逼迫孩子学习，在我的心里，老师分明是在说一定要考好，不准考差。

我吓的浑身哆嗦，开始回忆我以前学过的知识，但是墙上那钟表的嘀嗒声一直在困扰着我，我想起了这个，又因为滴答声，忘了那个，一直这样重复了几次。我有点不耐烦了，我心想算了吧？直接做吧！至少比干坐在这里，思考我以前学过的知识要好吧！我拿起了笔开始面对试卷，但是看到第一道题我就傻眼了，这道题要用原形和Ing进行式加到语句上面，但是在这道题目上，老师根本就没讲这种情况，这可怎么办呢？我无可奈何，只好拿出我的点兵点将大法，但是可惜这是道填空题我没能用上我的点兵点将大法，这使我脑袋都大了一号，没办法，我只好垂头丧气地往后做，可是越往后做我的心情就越烦躁，心情也就越忐忑，有很多题，明明在上课的时候，我都听到过，但是我就是一时想不起来了。

我心想算了吧，随便猜个答案都填上去吧！我真要这么做的时候，我却看到桌子上，不知谁用钢笔在上面刻了一句话，人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败，这一句话，可能是谁在上课的时候无聊随便刻的，但是他却成为了我这次考试的救命稻草，我转念一想，是啊，我不能被打败，我必须冷静下来尽自己的最大努力做下去，就这样时间又嘀嗒嘀嗒的过去了。不一会儿时间就到了，我垂头丧气的准备走上去交上试卷，但是我又想起了刚才可在桌子上那句话，就算我做的不好，我也要做出，我好像做得很好的样子，于是我马上抬头挺胸，挺着腰板走了上去。放学时我看到老师改完试卷才走，唉，才考了96分。

后来我把这件事情告诉了妈妈，本以为妈妈会大吵我一顿，但是她却夸奖我在关键的时刻没有放弃这一项做的很好。暂时一两次考试不好没什么关系，但是必须要在你受挫折的时候，坚强起来！坚持起来！那才是你该做的！

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

时间的脚步

在我短短十几载的人生中，不知过了多少时间。但得到的却太少，想想可能是因为从我手中滑过的分秒秒如疾风远远地吹去了，我不禁默默叹息，只能眼睁睁地看着它走过去，难以挽留。

无论在过去、现在还是未来，时间始终在跑，别人问它去哪儿，它只匆匆回答：“前头、前头……”，是的。时间的目标很坚定，它不爱看热闹，也不知疲倦，更不会失意，所以它不会减速，不会停滞，更不会回头。清晨，我睁开惺松的睡眼，通过闹钟知道时间已经迈出了坚挺的步伐，无奈我只得开始追逐的旅程。当灿烂的阳光洒进课堂时，它已从我们飞一般地笔尖溜走。太阳爱转圈圈，我只好跟着转，当转人徽洋洋的正午时分，它己躲开人们的视线登上了回航的班机，于是它轰鸣着穿过了薄云，再一次悄然远离。像狡黯的精灵一般，从人们的眼前闪过，手中滑过，脚边擦过，如一缕轻烟，一阵微凤，一片落在地上的黄叶—悄然而样和。又如风擎电驰的赛车，偶尔扑过的小虫，划破天际的闪电，让人措手不及。当我察觉时，新的一天又将来到。

老人们总是迈着悠闲的步伐穿梭在大街小巷，他们不追逐时间，因为他们已从比赛中退出，或许时间已经失败，奖品却是一头银发与一份睿智。大人们还在奔忙，因为人生的时钟刚刚敲响，他们正要去搏击生命，争取时间，创造辉煌!至于我们呢?我举棋不定，真不知该怎样去定义。毕竟，人生才刚刚起步。但时间又从不让步，无形间已给我们许多的苦涩和教训。

过去的，终究还是去了。眼前的，还在分分秒秒地前进着;而将来的，更需我们去把握。

我伏在窗前，凝视着静寂的夜，倾听着时间的脚步

有人说婴儿出生时之所以会哭，是因为他们知道自己将面对前途痛苦的人生。我不知是否该赞同他，但是我知道人出生之时就已经决定，一个新的斗者已经诞生。他呼喊着参战，在未知的挑战面前几乎无所畏惧。当然也有人选择放弃，早早夭折在智慧未成之时。不过失败者永远没有被留下任何丹青，六道轮回早早把他们收了回去，真正的来也匆匆，去也匆匆。

我似乎已经认定了人就是来这个世界当学生的，只不过年级不同、老师不同、同学不同。我们要做的是考试，没有备考，没有总复习，时时刻刻面对超乎高考标准的人生大考。考生是我们自己，试卷是我们的人生，考场是这个世界，监考师是你是他又或者是自己。我们埋头答题，努力的答好，因为我们没有橡皮，没有修正液。每当我们看着自己笔下的答案已经出错，人们的选择出现了分歧。有人选择继续答下去不顾及那小小的瑕疵。有人奉行完美主义坚决不放过，写更多的字，用更多优美的句子希望可以掩盖错题。可是仍旧无济于事，错的还是错的他们为了一个污点放弃了整个试卷，直到铃响他们才发现掩盖错误是多么可笑的举动，而后早早退出考场。剩余考生在看着一个个同伴走后无暇去道别、去思考、去幸灾乐祸，因为新的试卷已经发了下来。我们继续赶题，继续犯错继续追求完美注意，继续有人退出，继续承接下一份试卷。人的一身做了多少答卷?我不知道，我知道的是，只要我活着我就需要做更多的答卷，满足监考师、批卷师换回一句“不错继续努力”或者凭着一纸的大差离开考场。

我们在有生之年不断的接受考试，每个失败的人都想重新进来，有些考累的人也想早些出去。有些像围城，外面的人只会看到华丽的城墙和从里面的出来的衣着光鲜的贵族、骑士。而里面的人则看着那些与困于城中无法出行，和有如监禁的人不成比例的贵族、骑士苦笑。这一生还能重见城外的草地么?所有人都在思考，而后继续看着少得可怜的人出城。

人生真的很苦，也许苦已经不能形容，应该用残酷来说才合适，你身边的人无一不在和你并肩战斗，无一不是对自己推心置腹，可是谁又知道他们做的试题和自己是一样的?名额只有那么多，每个人都想出城，大家团抱着，扭打着冲向独木桥。有人却诺了，彷徨了，不知自己面对如此多的朋友亦或者敌人该如何，不断有人退出最终到了桥头，又一队衣着光鲜的贵族走了出去，城门口堆积着比麦垛还高的失败者。

人正是如此这般便来到了世界上，我们一步步向前，从爬到走再到跑，之后又从跑到走，最后直到走也走不动停下来看着一个个人继续前进。后人看着千万的成功者被提名，更加鼓起勇气冲进考场，而后继续一波波的上一波波的下，没有终止，没有尽头。此后围城里依旧有骑士护着衣着光鲜的贵族走出围城，桥头依旧有成堆的失败者。六道的轮回没有停止，继续向前，向前。

Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It falls on the

fifth day of May in the lunar calendar. A day before this festival, my mother

and grandmother began to make zongzi. Of course, I would act as assistant. But

it turned out that I was more of a hindrance than a help. When they finished,

they started to cook them. This process needed a long time, because I could have

them in the next day. Zongzi was very delicious. On the day of dragon boat

festival, our family prepared for dinner after having breakfast. Everyone of my

family will come back home for the solid diet. Chicken is indispensable on the

dinner desk in Chinese traditional festival. There were many delicious foods,

which made me watering. I ate lots of them. It is a wonderful festival.

星期五我们期中考试了，现在我十分疲惫和有点担心，时间仿佛静止了，度日如年，考好和考不好这两个词在心里打架，我紧张得就像心里有几只小兔子，能清晰地感觉到自己的心跳的节奏。

每次考试都会使我得到一个教训或一些经验，不知怎么回事，疏忽总是存在我身上，这次又犯错了，夏天的“夏”我不小心写成了复习的“复”，真的很懊恼，又丢分了，真的可惜。本来会写的，气死我了。

妈妈告诉我，考好不骄傲，考不好不气馁，以平平和和的心态应考，反而能考好，听了妈妈的这番话，我心里平静了许多。

在此我下决心，虽然疏忽不能避免，但我一定要做到尽力减少，这样才不会遗憾的流失分数。

人生之路，曲折如奔腾江河;青春之路，灿烂如丁香花开。

明天，你就要接受你生命中第一次重要挑战——中考的到来。从你出生到现在，你一直是爸妈的骄傲，你的学习是自觉的、成绩是稳定的，你的综合素质、善良品行也是让爸妈尤加赞赏的，所以，我们信任你放心你，并且知道你会斩荆破竹、沉着应考。如同你最爱的丁香花，乐奏枝头、灼灼其华。

我们欣然看到，经过十五年的洗礼历练，丁香花的种子已经萌发出了青春的气息、徜徉着青春的色彩、绽放着青春的力量。经过十年学子的寒窗苦读，已经磨砺出你朝气蓬勃的心志、永不服输的心态、追求美好的心境，这是青春的心志、青春的心态、青春的心境。

我也曾少年，曾经意气风发，也体验过青少时期的快乐、烦恼、精彩、迷茫，更体验过成长过程中的挑战、挫折、锤炼、荣光!我们也和每个孩子的父母一样，现在同样非常关心你的学习成长，关注中考战斗的打响。我们知道，你在经历中考的挑战，也在体味青春的甘苦。同时，我们也在回味曾经的中考，找寻青春的踪影。

我依稀记得，那一年我参加中考，我的父亲——你的爷爷送我去考场，他那期待的眼神、自豪的目光。如今，当年你爷爷那种期待、那种自豪跨越时空传递给我的时候，心中激发出的就是为你的备考默默行动，为你的奋战握拳加油。你也许会认为：我已经长大了，不需要爸妈这么操心挂怀。是啊，孩子毕竟长大了，时代不一样了，观念也变了。但不变的永远是父母深如大海的关爱之心!不变的永远是在青春路上父母期待的眼神!

丁香花开，洁雅幽香;走进考场，收获梦想。无论成败，惟愿我的女儿走在青春路上，如丁香花一样，花蕊纤小但繁簇绽放，气味独特却馥郁芬芳。

Li Xiaohu spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind

others. As a good/close friend of his， I must do something to help him.

First， I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should

spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games.

Secondly， I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for

his health， especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more

sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports

than computer games. And then I‘ll ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of

course， I will try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do

it in many fun ways and let him find much fun in studying. At the same time，

I’ll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him， too. If I try these， Im

sure he will make great progress soon.

1995 I went into taizhou junior middle school.Totally we had 7 classes,I

was in class 4.The head-teacher of the class was a middle age woman.she was so

strict with us.for example, i was catched when i ate a big rabbit sugar during

class time,she asked me to buy that bland sugar one peice for everyone.in my

opinion ,she hated everyting except study,everyweekend ,she asked us to study in

school,sunday afternoon was just the free time for us.when she saw we played

football,she must get the ball back to her office.someone who was to be in love

was found by her,he would be punished just like a shit.luckyly,i was not found

by her.i liked the girl who was my Elementary school schoolmate during my junior

middle school.i didnt know she konwed or not.it ended when we graduated.but i

liked to talk with others during class time,everytime i was found by her,she

asked me to write 3000 words to explain why and how to do in future. nowadyas

every time i remeber what happened in my junior middle school,i deeply appreciat

her kindness.she is real a good teacher.

My junior middle school time has pasted ,but it will influece till the end

of my life.

Great changes have taken place in my hometown for recent years.big department stores and factories are everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the big streets.with the development of the society，The life of the us is greatly improved.

I used to live in a small house and small houese surround the whole city. the qaulity of our life is very low,people were always worried that they would have no money for using or they can not get what they like. we could seldom see any foreign tourists.

But now, with the support of the government . My hometown has developed quickly and has changed a lot.people are living in a rich and high quality society,almost each person has a car,the transportation is convinient,meanwhile. more and more high buildings are being built which brings our hometown a new look. many wonderful places have been opened up that attracts many tourists.

Also,the people in my hometown are getting busier, everywhere you can see peoples footprints.

I have a dream. When I grow up, I want to be a scientist. I want to make a

robot by myself. It can help my mother to do the housework, help my father to

drive his car, and help me to walk my dog. I think my parents will like it very

much.

炎炎夏日，热浪袭人，总让人觉得暑气逼人，无处遁逃!自己一个人窝在家中吹着电扇，啃着红豆棒冰，一心渴望着可以马上去暑解热。奇怪的是，虽已满口的清凉绵密，却总觉得有一些些懒散、无趣，在心里徘回不去!我无奈地瞄了一眼倒趴在地板，无精打采的狗狗，心读一动，啊哈!原来如此。 In the hot summer, the heat wave strikes people, it always makes people feel like a heat -up and nowhere to escape! I blow the fan at home alone, holding the red bean stick pops up with the red bean stick., I longed for the heat to solve the heat immediately.Strangely, although it is full of coolness and dense, I always feel that there are some laziness and boring, and I cant go back in my heart! I glanced at lying on the floor, and I read it.!I see.

我轻轻敲碎棒冰递给它，只见一阵狼吞虎咽，顿时它的双眼目光晶亮，尾巴忘情摇摆，绕着我转圈划圆，只差没跟我大喊：“再来一碗”!我也开心得手舞足蹈，忘情欢笑!霎时，穿透窗帘的阳光，不再灼热刺眼，反而增添了几分温柔;隐身角落的盆栽，不再苍白低调，彷佛挥洒了盎然绿意。神奇吧!心境变了，眼见的景象、感受的温度竟如此天差地远，大不相同!没错!真正的快乐，要从分享开始，若没人分享，快乐就只剩一半!

我又是如何知道这个快乐分享的小撇步呢?话说一个夏天午后，妈妈请我分送栽种的玫瑰给邻居、亲友，在每个花香扑鼻的瞬间，我发现每张脸上绽放的惊喜，竟然比花朵更加灿烂。我拥有的玫瑰看似逐渐减少，我身上的花香却积累愈多。

于是我才惊觉独自拥有的快乐虽好，终究还是难掩寂寞!若是把心中的自我想得愈多，人与人之间，只会更形冷漠!若我用分享架设一座桥梁，跨越冷漠的峡谷，拉近心灵的距离，把我串联成我们，牵引彼此的心情与感受，分享快乐的“我”就会愈来愈多，“我们”的生命自然更加宽广开阔。

分享的快乐，在生活中俯拾即是，随处可见，滋味酸酸甜甜，如此美好，不管是轻食浅尝，都足以让人贪恋成瘾，难以自拔。所以啊，现在的我，天天让自己分享一件小小的快乐，才能日日拥有一份简单的幸福：一杯珍珠奶茶，就双管齐下，两人共饮;一块菠萝面包，就四分五裂，大家解馋;外带水果甜点，绝对见者有份，大伙尝鲜。

透过分享，当我们品尝美味的糕点时，我们一起感动着母亲的用心与厨师的创意;咀嚼甜美的果实时，我们共同体会了花开的曲折与耕种的辛劳，正因为乐于分享，勇于付出，让我们也懂得了感恩与宽容，进而期待未来的人生，能拥有更多喜乐与美好。

别怀疑!分享就是这么快乐，如此容易!你发现快乐了吗?记得分享，快乐就会如影随形，离你很近!让我们一起快乐吧!

上周六我们学校进行了期中考试。

先进行的是语文考试。开始我有点紧张，但慢慢地我还是放松了下来，可是等我写到第三题时，我有些不会，这让我又着急起来，结果我花了好一会时间才想出来，可这时考试时间已快到了，有几个同学都着急得要哭了，老师看有很多同学没做完，就多给了我们十分钟，于是，我抓紧时间，珍惜一分一秒，把题目全做完了。数学考试时，有4个求平均数的题目，也花了我不少时间，但我还是在规定时间内完成了所有的考题。

这两天，考试成绩陆续出来了，万老师告诉我，语文八十七分，数学八十四分，天啊！知道这个消息后我大吃一惊，很害怕，很着急，我怕老师批评，怕爸爸妈妈打我。回家后，我将成绩告诉了爸爸妈妈，出乎我的意料，爸爸妈妈并没有打我，但从爸爸妈妈的神情当中，我能感到他们有些失望，也有些着急……

这次考试，虽然万老师一再跟妈妈说，考试题目比较难，但我觉得不能以此作为借口，因为还是有好几个同学考了九十多分，我觉得自己以前的知识学得不够扎实，以后我一定要少玩一点，把时间多放一点在学习上，上课认真听讲，做一个爱学习的好孩子。

我相信以后我一定会考出好成绩的。请大家相信我！

As a student, my main target is to study well and then make progress step

by step. When holiday comes, it is time for me to play, and I should be happy,

while playing all the time makes me feel empty in my heart. I have done nothing

at all. I want to do something meaningful to enrich my life. So a target is

needed for me. I set a small goal, such as, read a book, or help my mother with

her work. Everytime when I finish my target, I will feel so satisfied. The

meaningful life is to do something useful and make you feel happy.

一个夏天，我们互相问候

另一个夏天，我们互相告别

几张卷子，赌上我们的青春

些许话语，离别三年的记忆

在迈向那扇

通往未来的大门时

是否知道，我们失去又得到了什么

有一天当我们踏过那条熟悉的小路，发现曾经的拐角已是岔路

成群走在街上的人，哪个不是深怀着自己的一份孤独，或许一个人并不孤单，一个没有回忆的人才是真正的孤单。

有时候我不是不想张口，我怕一张口，那些深隐的念便碎成了泪，那些令人心酸的感觉又浮上了心头。

多年后的一天，刻骨的东西忽然变得模糊不清，你记不起曾经与某个人在一起的细节，只是感觉一切恍然如梦。

爱有时候只是某个阶段，我们却将其假想成了一生，我们的心啊，为何如此的彷徨，原来我们一直都在离别中。

我们可以做到对一个人放弃，却做不到对一个人忘记，有一天当我们踏过那条熟悉的小路，发现曾经的拐角已是岔路

时光的角落里，零落了几多无力诠释的清愁，却不能够再与一个人重新认识，重新开始一次。

人生是一场永不落幕的演出，今天的亲近或许就是明天的遥远，如梦如幻的往事，只在心间留下一抹惆怅的真。

生命的故事里曾经走失了谁，人生的河流里淹没了多少勇敢的执念，爱总在最深时落下交织的帷幕，我们已不敢向那个故事里的人索要太多。

或许冷漠与薄凉，才是分开的两个人最适应，最恰好的温度，我们已经无法再酝酿出那些突然的温暖，我们的心已经无力再承受那样猛烈的撞击。

错过，却不再期待新的遇见，多年后依旧在反复问询自己的心，我究竟爱过的是那段时光，还是那段时光里用心陪我走过的人。

错过的人，即使还在心底千百次的忆起，却只能说与文字里的天涯海角听了，我已经不敢在一个人的心里，拾取一份仿若当年的在乎……

China

has a very long and brilliant history, whose people are so friendly and

hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to the

environment and nature. In many places of the countryside, rivers have become

stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs the

scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles and

bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some towns,

rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use, making

cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the rubbish.
